DIRECT ACCESS TO PHYSICAL THERAPY: Save time. Save money. Feel better quickly.

 

Dave was right: Direct access to physical therapy saves you time and money and is a great way to help you feel better quickly. As movement experts, physical therapists are able to provide early intervention to eliminate pain and get you back to living the life you want.

Biggest Benefits of Direct Access 

  1. Quicker access to the care you need. Baudry Therapy patients are typically seen within two working days of scheduling an appointment.
  2. Less associated costs and reduced need for additional healthcare services. Seeing the right physical therapist within 14 days of the onset of low back pain minimizes the average total cost of care by 50%. These costs are saved by reducing the need for imaging, surgery, and prescription medication.
  3. Better outcomes and higher satisfaction. Patients who received physical therapy through direct access (vs. physician referral) had a higher level of satisfaction with their care and better outcomes at discharge according to a 2014 Study by the Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Journal.

Establishing a relationship with a local Physical Therapist can help you save time, save money, and help you resolve the aches and pains of life.  Physical therapists are able to provide timely care and collaborate well with your physicians, to get you the help you need, when you need it.

We all experience age-related changes, but you don’t have to give up your favorite activities. The key to managing the aches and pains of life is to be more proactive in your health. Paying more attention to how you prepare, perform, and recover from physical activities will go a long way. Granted, it’s important to recognize your limitations at every stage of your life.

Here are some simple steps to help you eliminate and prevent your pain:

  • Identify the activity causing the pain. Once the source of pain is determined, start preparing and recovering better with dynamic warm-ups and proper stretching techniques. 
  • Stimulate the area in pain with manual massage to promote increased blood flow.
  • Restore strength and movement with gentle stretching and light resistance exercises.

If the pain persists, come in for a PT evaluation. Age doesn’t have to sideline you for the rest of your life.  Exercise is just as important in your twilight years as it is in your younger years.
